My Homework Part 1

I was asked to define success. I don't honestly know where to begin. i used to think it was money… I thought it was career… I thought it was a lot of things. I am laying in my bed, in my underpants, on my laptop… Just trying to put it together… At what point will I be successful? That is a total moving target. So lets start with what I DO know.

I know that if I want to feel successful, I will no longer be trapped by a job.

I will no longer be trapped by a clock.

I do not want to have my life restricted by pain.

I want to not have any hinderance to worship of God

I want to leave behind a thriving legacy

I don't want to be afraid to take risks

I want at least 200 Acres of my own so I can do long distance shooting and hunting.

I want my wife to be able to relax.

I don't want to be the tool that makes some else rich. I want my efforts to go directly into the Wagner family coffers.

I want to be a an insane giver.

I asked my wife "What does it mean to be successful?" Her response: "To not have to worry." I then asked he this: "Being married to me for almost 20 years, how do you think I define success?" Her reply: "To be respected. You have always needed external validation."

I can't deny that what she says isn't valid… but I feel it's only part of it.
